past: She has a
perfect older brother who she fails to live up to. Her father
hates her for this. he started abusing her when she was 13, but
she never understood what he was doing to her so she said
nothing. She met Alex when they were 7 and he has been her best
friend since then. She's had a crush on David, Alex's younger
twin brother, since she was 12 but has been having feelings for
Alex lately. She was in gymnastics when she was 7 but quit when
she was 11. She plays sports a lot but people think she isn't
good because she's short. She was forced to be on the cheer
leading team for a short period of time while one of the members
hurt themselves.

Past: David, his twin,
was the perfect son: straight A's, star athlete. Alex could never
live up to his father's standards so he got beaten for it. The
abuse started when he was 10. He's learned to just deal with it
since he doesn't like to tell people about his problems. He's had
a crush on Sopharina for years. He just loves everything about
her. He loves David but hates the fact that he's so talented.
Alex has tried to play sports but he was never good at it. He
prefers to write poems and stories.
